I bought a pair online last summer for $50 shipped, can't remember from where though, I searched on google and 50 bucks for the pair was the least expensive I could find.
I lucked out on CL a couple months ago when I picked up the duplicate of the bike I received Christmas 1965....a pristine Huffy Galaxie for the princely sum of $40. Even had its original bell!
This bike is so beastly it'll make children and hippies cry!
Everything about it is just right.....it actually looks like it was built by a pro shop sorta like a Gas Monkey Garage for bikes.
This just gets better and better....bike looks like both a Harley Fat Boy and then also a police motorcycle from the 40's/50's.:rockout:
And your fender brace shortening technique just solved a problem I had earlier today in fitting 50's era ballooner fenders to my Raleigh mountain bike.:113:
I'm coming down the home stretch on finally getting my '39 Rollfast that I purchased from a member here 3 years ago up and running....I'm using PB Blaster on the chain which hasn't spun in decades....its working like a charm.
Wow, the Howards really brings out the shine! I use it on my old Victrola's, never thought about using it on bikes ....does it dry on the steel bike frame?
A big congratulations to fordsnake on a well deserved win. His build is a beautiful combination of creativity, ingenuity and sculpture. 8)
And Carlton, I will say a prayer for your sister tonight.
